New Wheels on the 182!

[mullen]

Got these wheels off Ste 172 last weekend and refurbed them today:rasp:

And now with them finished on the car in Matt Black:approve:

 

[DazRsi]

did you refurb them 'as in they were kerb'd' or did you just 'respray them'?

look good tho

 

[mullen]

they were kurbed mate and we dont quite a good job considering

 

[dutty_112]

[mullen]

Yeah he did mate - told me as I drove past Thanks!

 

[mullen]

Just need to clean the car now lol

 

[dutty_112]

think it really suits it well, however when summer time comes do them gloss black!!

sits perfect too, was with my cousin (adeel) might know him? we used to have the civic coupe and silver civic hatchback b16 engine in at the cruise?

 

[mullen]

I'l see how I feel summer time but im liking the mat black at the moment

 

[Peperami]

Look nice, be better in gloss black though

 

[clionoob]

[Fletcher]

They will look better with some tyre gel.

 

[madhops87]

[paul]

Great much easier to refurb them without tyres

Aren't the tyres still fitted.

 

[mullen]

[Turner]

Look good those,did you have to do much sanding for the primer?

 

[nicknick]

I like! nice ride height too.

 

[Christopher]

like em fella

 

[mullen]

yeah did a lot of sanding need to give them a few more coats of matt black when the weather is better as they ain't 100% yet because the weather is shite!! but I can't moan cost me about £40 to refurb and I've still got paint left to give them extra coats

 

[mullen]

thanks guys not bad for a £50 set of wheels eh

 

[Christopher]

[Mark One]

[Renault_Boy01]

[cat171]

Not bad at all

 

[fUbAr]

average :approve:

 

[Skinny]

what did you use to sort the kurbing out? some metal filler? did you take the tyres off at all or just leave them on?

 

[Mikey197]

Looks really smart mate.

 

[clio_luke]

wheels look great

 

[Gaz_]

Hhhmmmmm don't know if they cheapen the car tbh. Much prefer the cupped 182 alloys, or trophy turinis

Each to their own mind!!!!

 

[mullen]

what did you use to sort the kurbing out? some metal filler? did you take the tyres off at all or just leave them on?

yes used metal filler - also the tyres were took off the beeding so we could get to the edges of the alloy but it theory the tyres were three quarters on as I didnt want to scratch them when putting the tyres back on as I've got a habit of doing things like that

Thanks everyone

I dont think the car sits level though so looks like im ordering a set of coilovers at the end of next week:rasp:
